Get Up & Go Morning Muesli

If you’re looking for a fabulous and flavourful breakfast/brunch dish to prepare with young grandchildren, this is the perfect recipe. Have grandkids measure out all of the ingredients and place in a large mixing bowl (order does not matter *bonus if your grandkids are toddlers), then stir to combine. It does not get much easier and/or delicious than this delicious and healthy make-ahead breakfast dish.
When my children (now 20 & 21) were young they often munched on this as an afternoon snack.
